Lime is most effective when applied
to land in the Fall as It is more soiu-
bic in cold water than in warm Its
effects are to furnish plant tood for
the crops, to decompose organic mat
ter that may exist in the soil, to act
as q solvent OF mineral plant food in
the soil. to neutralize injurious and
noxlous acids and compounds that
may exist in the land, to loosen heavy
clay land, and to make loose sandy
soils more compact. As lime serves
all these purposes it is one OF the
most valuable fertilizInc agents the
iarmer can use. The quantity used is
from 80 to so bushels per acre.

Remedy for = Sick Cow.

Want cf nutritious food previous o
calving is common cause OF weakness
after caIving. The cows system is en-
hausted by the calving, and if she is
deficient in strength she falls off rap
lilly. Twenty pounds of good hay or
three or four quarts OF bran ormid.
dlings daily is little enough to keep a
COW in good strong condition through
the winter. After calving this food may
be increased little if the COW gives as
much a. II or II quarts OF milk.
To bring up n COW when she
falls Off is a difficult matter; it is
easier to keep her up; but the only way
is to give her good food, and, if her
appetite is poor, to give tonics to
strengthen it. In This case give u pint
of raw linseed oil-not salts, which are
weakening-and repeat in three days
If necessary. Then give a warm bran

The Commune OfParis.

But few people are fully aware OF the
immense proportions which the Par
l. Commune had taken on before its
final suppression. It's military strength
was simply enormous. Ciuseret told
me OF his furnishing ratiOns, at the
time he was delegate to the Ministry
OF War, to one hundred and twenty
five Thousand soldiers in Paris. And
the amount OF war material found
in possession OF the Commune at the
time OF its collapse was prodioious.
There were 54S, 600 guns, OF different
models, with sabre bayo-
nets; $4,000 cavalry sabreS,
OF every form and description;
$4,000 Enfield rifles; 80, 900 revolverS
making q total OF nearly 100000
weapons OF every kind taken from the
hands oi the Communards. Inde.
pendently OF the vast amount OF this
particular material, the military
authorities OF the Commune had
400 pieces oil cannon and mitrailaus-
es, which they had robbed from the
city and which they used with such
terrible effect. But what must ever
excite amazement is the knowledge OF
the vast number OF people in Paris at
this time who net only were in sym.
pathy with the Commune, but who
abetted and sustained it in its career
OF crime and blood. The minority,
